While it isn’t directly running related, it is something I wanted to talk about in the context of the <a href=\"https://www.womensrunning.co.uk/inspiration/running-hacks-busy-mums/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">emotional mental load</a> that women so often carry. I’d be really interested to hear what you think about with. But It’s an important topic to discuss because the fact remains that we are the ones that carry the majority of that load, and how on earth do we train for a race, whether it’s <a href=\"https://www.womensrunning.co.uk/training/10k-training-plan/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">10K</a> or a <a href=\"https://www.womensrunning.co.uk/training/your-first-marathon-training-plan/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">marathon</a>, if we’re doing all of that?</p><p><br></p><h2>Reality</h2><p>But because I’ve had a rubbish week you have to forgive us as we then have a delicious conversation about reality TV. Holly is at pains to tell me that EVERYONE wants me to watch Love is Blind.</p><p><br></p><h2>Fasted running</h2><p>We also talk about <a href=\"https://www.womensrunning.co.uk/health/nutrition/fast-run/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">fasted running</a>. We’re both guilty of accidental fasted running, but we get into the logistics here, based on some very quick google research, on whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing to do.
